The Cherry Street Bridge is a historic bridge located in Shell Rock, Iowa, United States. It spans a tributary of the Shell Rock River for 106 feet (32 m).[2] The span required 544.6 cubic yards of concrete and 16,960 pounds (7,690 kg) of steel. It was built by the Waterloo, Iowa bridge contractor A. Olson Construction Co. for $15,690 and completed in August 1929.[2] It replaced an older through truss bridge, and originally had lights on the bulkheads of the guard rails. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
